Open House: 1910 Dorchester Ave #607, Boston (11am-noon) Face Covering Required - Stop by to see this west facing penthouse unit in the heart of Ashmont Hill offering a great layout, heated garage parking, large windows with bright light all day and two private outdoor spaces delivering beautiful sunset views. This home is great for entertaining with stainless steel and granite kitchen, complete with breakfast bar overlooking the spacious and flexible living and dining room areas. The master bedroom fits a king-sized bed and both bedroom closets have been recently updated with custom closet systems.

The condo is in a well-maintained professionally managed building just steps away from the Red Line T stop, with both Ripple Cafe and Tavolo Restaurant located on the main floor. American Provisions is across the street with easy access to Ashmont Grill and Lower Mills' favorites including the Lower Mills Tavern, Yellow Door Taqueria and Bowery Bar.

Going Viral: Photography, Performance, & the Everyday - Today, we use the phrase going viral to describe the rapid reception and reproduction of media on the Internet. However, since the dawn of amateur photography in the late-nineteenth century, critics have warned of a universal snapping psychosis. Long before the age of the selfie, the craze for candid cameras spawned innumerable tropes that snapshooters found irresistible. This exhibition of early-twentieth-century American snapshots considers our everyday relationship to photography: the ways in which we mediate, understand, and narrate our lives through the snapping and sharing of photographs, and how and why certain types of images become socially infectious.
